Lyrics

I’ve been
spared
all the nickling
all the dimeing
Spared
I’ve been
spared
all the powder
on a trumpet
of Gabriel
Don’t play
that song
for me you won’t
play that
song for
me The riff
with the
swaddling
hair
Those sisters
who never
broke
us The link
missing
at the
rear
and the
halo
halo of locust
Mama danced
four feet
away
Papa danced
four feet
away
in the rubbing
and fusing
the sealing
and pivoting
gotta dance
four feet
away
Spared
I’ve been
spared
All the handles
a body
could handle
Spared
I’ve been
spared
All the powder
on a Magdalene
Mary
Don’t play
that song
for me you won’t
play that
song for
me Those threads
you would
never wear
The sobbing
that just
might choke
us Those tooth
fairies
wait till
they get
here
and the
halo
halo of locust
I love this season
without its cleft
left hook to the right foot
right cross
to the left
I love this season
this very night
right cross to the left foot
Left hook to the right
Mama danced
four feet
away
Papa danced
four feet
away
in the rubbing
and fusing
the sealing
and pivoting
gotta dance
four feet
away
